Update v0.2.8 - Smokes and Ladders

Hey Everyone,

Tonight's patch introduces smoke grenades, increased tickrates, ladder improvements and more!

Read on for the full patchnotes.

Additions and Improvements

  • Added the Smoke Grenade -The Smoke Grenade can be found in both military & residential areas, and when thrown, will create a large, semi-opaque sphere of smoke for 25 seconds.
  • Increased base network tickrate by 10 packets/second (up from 20 to 30)
  • Increased max spawns from chopper Weapon Crate to 7 from 6
  • Ladders will now show when you can actually climb them, via the crosshair (this is a temporary helper mechanic until we do a complete ladder rework)
  • Death messages now show the name of the player that died
  • Added 5 more random spawn points around the map
  • Added extra low residential crate spawners in some areas
  • Added the "Competitions" tab in the main menu

Bug fixes

  • Choppers will now always fly through the centre of the map, instead of sometimes flying very close to the edge of it
  • Fixed bug where flares & rocks could sometimes not be thrown
  • Flares now get removed from your inventory when thrown
